Device a way in which encryption (WEP/WPA) can be configured on wireless network interfaces that will be used as mesh gateways.

As things stand now, wicd (already enabled in Porteus Linux) is content to set up a network interface and then get out of our way, so I think this will be easy. It might make more sense to assume that the user has already configured the gateway interface somehow (Ethernet is configured automatically via DHCP using ifplugd, why not make the same assumption for wireless?) and we're just turning gateway mode on.
